[User]

The deed has been done.  Ordered the Beatle Buster from SE today

Good move User, you'll love 'em!

[User]

I'm getting them hemmed.  I'm thinking maybe I should just get them first, and not hem, then decide.

I'm 6'0'', any tips?

[vespr1198s]

I would suggest that you hold off on any hemming until you have broken your pair in for a few months or so in order to allow the legs to settle.

[Blackheart]

User, I've had mine for about a month now and haven't hemmed them. You being 6'0" and the busters being
a 34 length I'd definitely wear them and see how they settle as vespr suggested. If you wear boots then
you'll probably not want them hemmed.

[grundletaint]

i'm 6'. if you wanna look back through the thread you can see them unhemmed.

Too late on the hem.  SE is quick when you place orders.  ???

I trust Andrew at SENYC, it was his recommendation whilst I was there and was able to try on the IHXB01.

[User]

So, there are not a lot of evo pics currently of the IHXB01.  But I'm assuming I can expect the same awesome fading properties as any other IH 21oz denim?

[Beatle]

lol, yes you can

@Beatle:

I'm at work too and my buddy is giving me some flac about ordering the IHXB01.  He's trying to tell me they won't fade or turn into the jean I want and that I'm taking a risk because there is no solid evolution pictures of them.

When you drop a good amount of them and someone starts doubting it, it makes you a bit worried.

Tell him he know's the square root of diddleysquat…......

[Beatle]

I think they fade beautifully..

[Seul]

I think they'll fade nicely…

[elclintor]

how much pain would i be in for if I were to size down one on these?

[Beatle]

no more than you can handle.

[Giles]

They are made out of the same denim that Haraki has been using for all the 21oz selvedge jeans (634S, BB, 301S) since he started making jeans.  The only change since he started, was that 5 years ago he and I decided to change the weft from pure white to a light beige…...........

[elclintor]

so a 2" stretch is not out of the question?
